Last Open Enrollment Period, a self-employed attorney. Leah, came to us frustrated after multiple failed attempts to complete her health insurance application. The online forms were confusing, and she had difficulty understanding how to document her fluctuating income. Yes, it was confusing even for an attorney.

We stepped in to assist, walking her through each section of the application, explaining the required documentation, and ensuring that all the necessary information was correctly entered. With our help, she successfully completed her application and secured a plan that met her needs. She was thrilled to finally have coverage without the stress of navigating the process alone.
